Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction

I saw an ad for a company called "Popular Pays" and it sent me spiraling — straight back to the kid with no friends, a room full of toys, and everything to say with no one to say it to. www.recoveringself.com/commentary/p... #RecoveringSelf #MentalHealth #Writing

@booksky.club If you like your sci-fi with controlled worlds & system failure: Greg Hickey’s Our Dried Voices is set in a colony where everything is taken care of—until it breaks down. No work. No effort. No friction. Then something slips. buy.bookfunnel.com/jacirzwrkg?t... #BookSky #SciFi #SFF

If you like your sci-fi with controlled worlds and system failure: Greg Hickey’s Our Dried Voices is set in a colony where everything is taken care of—until the machines break down. No work. No effort. No friction. Then something slips. buy.bookfunnel.com/jacirzwrkg?t... #BookSky #SciFi #SFF

This one sits between worlds. The fiction I’m writing. The life I’m living. The question of what’s real—and who still sees it. Featuring Our Dried Voices by Greg Hickey, which hits that same nerve from another angle. open.substack.com/pub/innerchi...

Quick question for sci-fi readers/writers: Are there any books that genuinely blend science fiction + healing work? Not as flavor—but as part of the core narrative. What genre is this? And who’s already doing it well? #scifi #speculativefiction #writingcommunity #amwriting #healing #mindfulness

It's Friday & I completed another revision of my memoir! I'm going to do 1 more read through before it's due on April 30. My daughter Sophie has also been reading & giving me feedback which is great (she has a master's in English). I'm happy with where it is now. It's come a long way 🫠 #BookSky

If you're curious about the kind of stories & ideas I spend my days with — visionary sci-fi, inner child healing, & the occasional fiction that doesn't quite fit a shelf — my little corner of the 'net is always open. No algorithms, no hard-sell. Just me. 👉 daviddeanehaskell.com Glad you're here. 🙏

Most systems work—until they don’t. And when they break, the truth isn’t what you thought it was. That’s what I write about. daviddeanehaskell.com

There’s a moment in my scifi story TOMMYTUNE where the main character realizes: nothing is wrong with him… the system is just fucked up. That realization breaks everything. Read it free: → daviddeanehaskell.com

I’m giving away two of my sci-fi stories for free. If you like stories about systems breaking and people having to adapt… this is for you. 👉 daviddeanehaskell.com

Refreshed my website..I think it's pretty cool. Check it out ya'll: daviddeanehaskell.com

If you want the cleanest doorway into my current fiction, start with Tommytune. It is a short story about a creator who feels broken & starts to realize the broken parts may be the source code. Get it here: dl.bookfunnel.com/w22icdykd9 If it lands, I will share the next book with you from there.

THE VIBRANTS is the novel I’m building toward. Tommytune is where that world is live right now. dl.bookfunnel.com/w22icdykd9 #AmReading

Quiet weeks count too. My aim this month is to shore up the behind-the-scenes publishing structure so I can put my all into this, the connection, the outreach. What counts. It's coming. Almost here. Thanks for sticking around. David #innerchildhealing #visionaryscifi #resonant #creative #author

The world does not always break all at once. Sometimes it breaks through drift, blindness, compromise, & the slow recognition that the old assumptions no longer hold. Dark Alignment lives in that territory. It’s in this fiction promo: reads.daviddeanehaskell.com/great_fictio... #SciFi #Thriller

substack.com/@daviddeaneh... The journey is never complete. Addiction. Despair. A half-decade writers block. Work that was 'finished' but I never felt okay with. Until now.

What makes a technothriller impossible to put down for you: pace, plausibility, stakes? Or...?

The futures that scare me most aren’t the loud ones. They arrive as overly simplistic solutions, draconian guardrails 'to protect us', and ease. #SciFi

At a museum in Sukhothai today, something small turned into something spiritual. I wrote about craft, impermanence, and what remains after the maker is gone: innerchildjournal.substack.com/p/god-in-the... #Writing #Art #Impermanence #travelwriting #spirituality

Haha, I definitely know the feeling of deleting things too fast! But with these aliens... well, let's just say their definition of 'recycling' is a lot more literal. Glad the concept caught your eye!

Sometimes I feel like I should be so calculating lol..I tend to delete my errors so fast I make more in the process. 😂 Nice concept @henrikgjelstrup.bsky.social .. looking forward to meeting these aliens of yours and taking notes!

I started writing Erased after years of frustration with the direction of our world. Feeling like people were blind to the truth. This is by far one of the best compliments from a reader so far. She understood what Erased is. #books #fiction #scifi #booksky #bookreview

Yuri’s seatmate on a flight is a chilling reminder—caught in the same cycle Yuri barely escaped. It’s about "the gift of desperation," where the pain finally outweighs the fear of change. +3 Read it here: daviddeanehaskellstories.substack.com/p/the-gift-o... #WritingCommunity #Substack
